Game Thoughts:A big, big game in the UC tonight… potential 1st round home-ice on the line. Vancouver smoked Chicago last time out, 7-3 at GM Place. Look for the ‘Hawks to have a bit of payback on their minds. On the Canucks’ side of things, they should be more worried about catching Calgary for the division. Chicago has won 3 in a row and I expect them to win another close one to extend their lead on the Canucks.

Players to watch:BOS- Dennis WidemanWideman, who had 3 A yesterday, needs to have similar 2-way performance tonight.PHI- Joffrey LupulLupul, who had 2 G yesterday, needs to come through in the clutch once again.

Game Thoughts:Philly has had Boston’s number in Beantown this year, but not at home. The Bruins are coming off a wild 7-5 win in Toronto last night… while Philly needed a shootout to deposit the Isles. In the end, Tim Thomas is fresh so I like the Bruins to pick up the win in this possible 2nd or 3rd round playoff matchup.
